DALAM is the backing band to Malta’s construction noise. HEADLINES, the band’s debut EP, is coming out later in 2023 via Kewn Records and is an introduction to DALAM’s frantic, brash, and sardonic sound. HEADLINES marks the first phase of what DALAM set out to achieve when they formed in 2020—write compelling tracks steeped in sludgy noise rock, early metalcore, post-hardcore, and various other kinds of filthy music.
On an island where everything seems far-fetched, DALAM pushes things one step further. The four tracks on HEADLINES feature stories that would make the news in a parallel world where Malta is just slightly more bizarre. DALAM’s high-octane live shows are universally disliked by photographers who attempt to capture still photos of the band.
HEADLINES was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Steve Lombardo at Hell Next Door Studios.
